The Veteran's anxiety disorder is rated at 100 percent effective December 5, 2023, due to total occupational and social impairment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of persistent delusions or hallucinations, disorientation to time or place, and intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living (including maintenance of minimal personal hygiene) more nearly approximated the level of impairment required for a disability rating of 100 percent as of December 5, 2023.

- Denied

The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
- Denied
